I am upon the whole rather glad than sorry that this question of the relations between labour and capital, the one vital material ...question of modern civilized society, should have come to a crucial debate and trial in America, where the whole matter will be reduced to its simplest fundamental elements, and no side issues and complications, such as would attend dealing with them in Europe, exist to obscure the understanding of the people or trammel legislative action upon the matter.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

It is futile to ask women not to go into business, as futile almost as to insist that water shall not run downhill. One cannot sto...p world movements; and the efforts of women toward emancipation--the natural result of the deadly monotony of their task on the one hand, a jealousy of man's freedom, and a total ignorance of man's struggle as well as of the glory of their own special opportunity--all lead to the condition we are facing to-day. If in any way I can indicate the pain of the struggle, if I can succeed in making women appreciate that there are two sides to the question, one not altogether rosy, and that, although they will undoubtedly win, they will be forced to pay a high price, then I shall have accomplished my purpose.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength la...bour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
